A note on formal groups and zeta functions.
In this note we investigate a relationship between the boundary behavior of power series and the composition of formal power series. In particular, we prove that the composition domain of a formal power series is convex and balanced which implies that the subset consisting of formal power series which can be composed by a formal power series possesses such properties. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition operator to map into itself or to map into...
If is a smooth scheme over a perfect field of characteristic , and if is the sheaf of differential operators on [7], it is well known that giving an action of on an -module is equivalent to giving an infinite sequence of -modules descending via the iterates of the Frobenius endomorphism of [5]. We show that this result can be generalized to any infinitesimal deformation of a smooth morphism in characteristic , endowed with Frobenius liftings. We also show that it extends to adic...
Free Poisson algebras are very closely connected with polynomial algebras, and the Poisson brackets are used to solve many problems in affine algebraic geometry. In this note, we study Poisson derivations on the symplectic Poisson algebra, and give a connection between the Jacobian conjecture with derivations on the symplectic Poisson algebra.
We observe that the characterization of rings of constants of derivations in characteristic zero as algebraically closed subrings also holds in positive characteristic after some natural adaptation. We also present a characterization of such rings in terms of maximality in some families of rings.
A concept of a slice of a semisimple derivation is introduced. Moreover, it is shown that a semisimple derivation d of a finitely generated commutative algebra A over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is nothing other than an algebraic action of a torus on Max(A), and, using this, that in some cases the derivation d is linearizable or admits a maximal invariant ideal.
